 pany's Central Omce-Perfect And
 Reliable Time Governed Direct From
 The Winchester ObservatOry-Inter-
 esting Mechanical And Electric EI-
 feets-The Warner Improvements
 Wonderfully Systematic And Perfect
 Work.
 The public have noticed with interest the
 electric clocks in Wilcox &c Co.'s dry goods store, Klock's drug store, the Tontine Hotel, Diebers restaurant Cutters art store, Downes' City Hall restaurant, Erbens tonsor- ial rooms and various other places. They are put in and operated by the Standard | Electric Time company with the Warner system, the office of which is room 9, Yale Bank building. Patrons are furnished by | these clocks with the exact time of the Win chester observatory, and the Warner system | remedies imperfections which existed hereto
 fore and gives the most perfect and satisfac- | tory results and greatly surpasses all other | systems. A visit to the office of the company | will richly repay anyone who is interested in | the wonders of electricity and the marvel | lous time system which in these modern ! days has become so complete and systemat- | ic. The office is supplied with all the latest | and most improved appliances and | ard time. These consist of, first, very fine master clock, which is capable of | running very close, but for still greater &C., curacy is put under the direct control of the observatory clock, consequently it's pendulum | swings and beats in unison with that at the observatory This clock with it's digni6ed face and steady, reliable habits unmoved by all outside influences and true as steel to it's duty-this clock operates series of relays through distributing switch board, a mar vel of accuracy and systematic work, which controls eleven different circuits, each having l an indicator to denote the time shown by the clocks in it's circuit By this admirable in- yention not only is the result just specified ] accomplished, but should any disturbance or interruption occur on any of the circuits it will be exposed instantly at the central office. Moreover each cir cult is so arranged that it may be instantly divided, so that should any in terruption occur the part affected can be cut off and isolated from the rest and the trouble located, repaired and started into action again very quickly. When once set right all the clocks are moved or set from the central office, thus avoiding even occasional visits to
 them. Provision is also made against all
 troubles and unavoidable accidents such fire destroying the wires on given section;
 but even these. which can occur but seldom,
 will be very quickly remedied.
 To those who must have uninterrupted
 service a self-maintaining clock is supplied,
 which requires no winding and is controlled
 by the current, but is not dependent upon
 it, and in of accident to the current will not be affected.
 The system in use by this company is
 known as the Warner system, the invention
 of c. D. Warner of Ansonia Ct., where it
 has been in operation since 1855, giving
 good satisfaction, as will be shown by the
 fact that the subscribers have gradually in-
 creased in that town from few to between
 250 and 300. The system is also in success full operation in Waterbury and already num-
 bers there considerable over 100 subscribers.
 This system is entirely different from any other and is in operation in three towns and is held by strong patents. Clocks in various styles are placed in business places, manu factories or residences at small rental and satisfaction guaranteed. The company pro- tect themselves against very many accidents and disturbances by using the best insulated wire of different color from all others, be- ing red, making it easily looked after
